Waste Procurement & Management

Waste contracts that actually fit your site.

Independent waste procurement for UK businesses — matched to how you actually operate, not a generic collection schedule, with support that continues long after the contract is signed.

Renewed year after year, rarely reviewed

Is your current waste contract working for you?

A waste contract that was appropriate several years ago may no longer represent the most efficient or cost-effective solution today. Here's what we typically find when we look closely.

!
Container sizes larger than required
!
Collection frequencies that don't match volumes
!
Excessive weight allowances
!
Charges for unused capacity
!
Automatic annual price increases
!
Poor recycling arrangements
!
Limited contract flexibility
!
Lack of visibility across multiple sites

Reviewing pays for itself

By reviewing your current arrangements, Energyex can help identify opportunities to improve service levels, simplify administration, and potentially reduce unnecessary expenditure.

From assessment to ongoing management

Our waste procurement process.

Our goal is to ensure your waste service reflects your actual requirements — not a generic collection schedule.

01

Waste Profile Assessment

Reviewing waste streams, container types and sizes, collection frequencies, site requirements, existing supplier arrangements, contract terms, and operational challenges.

02

Market Tendering

We obtain proposals from suitable waste contractors and compare options on a like-for-like basis, aligned to actual requirements rather than a generic schedule.

03

Contract Review & Negotiation

Reviewing pricing structures, weight allowances, escalation clauses, service commitments, notice periods, and contract lengths before selecting a provider.

04

Ongoing Supplier Management

Support continues beyond placement — supplier communication, service queries, invoice support, site changes, contract renewals, and additional requirements.

Waste Procurement FAQs

Common questions about business waste procurement.

Yes. A contract review is often the first step. We assess your current arrangements — container sizes, collection frequencies, weight allowances, pricing structures, escalation clauses, and notice periods — and identify whether the existing service is still appropriate or whether there are material savings or service improvements available.

We support procurement across general commercial waste, recycling streams (paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, metals), food waste, confidential waste destruction, hazardous and clinical waste, electrical waste, and waste-to-energy and recovery services. If your site generates a specialist stream, we can advise on appropriate licensed contractors.

Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, all businesses have a legal Duty of Care when disposing of waste. This means using licensed waste carriers, maintaining accurate Waste Transfer Notes, and ensuring waste is disposed of correctly. We work with licensed contractors and support businesses in meeting their ongoing obligations — including documentation for hazardous and specialist streams.

Yes. We provide centralised waste management for property management companies, commercial landlords, hospitality groups, retail chains, care home operators, and industrial businesses. This includes consolidated procurement, portfolio-level reporting, site additions and removals, and a single point of contact for the full portfolio.

We remain involved beyond placement. Supplier performance issues, missed collections, invoicing queries, and service changes are all managed through us — you don't have to navigate contractor disputes alone.
